Well, and then if you pay the $190 for vB 4, you only get a year of updates without even an option to continue to get updates?

If that's the case, there's no benefit from vB 3 as if you paid the $180 you'd get the year of updates. If you didn't want anymore updates, you could still use the program.

With vB 4 you won't have to pay the $40 - $60 a year, but you won't get anymore updates either? If that is the case, they'll have to release new versions every year in order to continue to pull in revenue.
